 Taken during a regular for-hire photo shoot where this young man was just such a great model we started playing rather than sticking to the usual poses. Entirely the models idea for this set up and was origionally meant for the Cheese challenge (To have been titled: Santa likes CHEESE!). I thought it looked like an LL Bean pose before I even saw the speed-challenge. LOL!

Small crop, levels, smooth, despeckle, neatimage, clone out distractions (chair deco, soot, a spinning stocking and two crackers), dodge and burn model and chair.

Cute photo, and I love the boy's experession. Some crumbs on the plate would have been a nice extra touch.

I like the warm tones of this and the feeling of home. I would have stuck with one subject, the flannel I don't think the empty plate adds anything, and almost makes it look like the child is begging for food, although I'm sure this wasn't your intention. The lighting on the right is a little harsh and I think I would have maybe liked him standing so I could see more of the stockings.
